Every single athlete places stress on their bodies whether they are going through routine practice to playing multiple games per week, typically all year round. This places critical importance on strength coaches all over to use their education and knowledge to develop strength & conditioning programs to meet the needs of each athlete to help prevent injuries from happening during practice or play.

Sport Nutrition: Post-Workout Meals and Daily Protein intake
1. Ingesting any meal (liquid preferably) after a workout will replenish energy (glycogen) stores, grow and repair muscles, and enhance the immune system.
2. Carbohydrates (simple sugars are best) and protein (Whey) are needed in a ratio of about 3:1 or 4:1 and minimal fat for best results. Chocolate milk is a good, cheap option.
3. Daily protein intake likely should be much higher than the RDA. 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight may be a good marker.
4. Dividing protein intake into as many servings as possible is better for muscle and strength gain compared to a couple big meals because the protein will be absorbed better.
